Welcome back!

Most of the time, David Ortiz, aka Big Papi, has a smile that makes me think of a mischievous kid who, though he may have been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, knows you love him and can’t help but smile at his antics…and offer him another cookie!

But that smile has been sadly missing this season and I, along with many other members of Red Sox Nation, have missed it. I’m pretty sure I speak for all of us when I say to Big Papi and his smile, “Welcome back! It just wasn’t the same around here without you!”
